House Sparrows and Why I Noticed



I’ve spent a lot of time watching the birds most people ignore. The ones hopping under picnic tables, dust-bathing in alleyways, arguing over breadcrumbs. House sparrows...scrappy, social, overlooked.

Living in the city, they were the birds I had. Not rare, not exotic...just present. They allowed me to practice my skills as a photographer. This book grew out of those everyday encounters. It’s part photo journal, part love letter to the ordinary. If you’ve ever paused to watch a sparrow fluff its feathers or squabble with a neighbor, you might find something familiar in it.

You can find it on Amazon if you're curious
